Awesome episode and awesome dogfights, and some exposition too.
I like Messer's character so it's great to see him getting development and show some of his past, but at the same I have the feeling that we'll get another Michael Blanc situation (the fact that his merchandise like his VF-31 model or his mecha collection model are the last to come out even after the Elysion is not reassuring ), the only reason I can see Messer surviving a bit longer is because without him Keith would easily take down most of Delta squad. It was also good to see Mirage and Hayate growing closer even if it freaked out Freyja, but that was mostly because of the bridge bunnies and their rumors, but with this I think we can finally say that the main love triangle has started, and with it new shipping wars (apparently some japanese message boards have become a battle ground already haha). Well think about it this way, we know thanks to Makina, that walkure's songs against the var don't work if they aren't live, yet Messer has just that one song recorded on his bracelet and he always does that gesture with his hand before going out on sortie, so yeah I think there might be some feelings involved.

Edit: not to mention, it's probably not a case of a crappy manager, but more like Kaname just plain not being star material, which she pretty much acknowledges in this episode. She does well in a group, and obviously she does a good job managing them as leader/manager, but compared to someone like Mikumo she has no chance. (Mikumo also has a lot more dominant and assertive personality, and might very well be mistaken for the actual leader.) Last edited by kuromitsu; 2016-05-29 at 19:31. |

shrug Alternatively, the necklace is a red herring and Hayate really is sensitive to Fold Waves on his own, leading right back to the Son of Basara theories. |

I think it's later. Let's be honest if all that was needed to protect own self against var were piece of rock (no matter how rare), Delta squadron would be already equipped with it. Or at least Messer would considering his circumstances.

As for her talent, no matte what she acknowledge, she is more star material than Minmey, Ranka or Freya ever was. This crap is obviously result of her ex manager brainwashing her (you don't need do that much to cause few psychological complexes) to cover own incompetence Mikumo, Sheryl and Basara are obviously category on their own (though Basara might never become popular either if not for protodevilns).

Huh? Werent Basara & Fire Bomber already a popular band with a lot of fans even before the Protodeviln appeared? I mean, they were already preparing for and doing a concert in episode 1 with a lot of people waiting IIRC.

Basara was a semi-street performer whose initial goal was to be like Minmei, using music to change war. He jumped at the first opportunity when Varauta invaded. Prior to that though, he was no more than a small local gig.

Also I think Kaname lack of popularity is most likely due to her mostly overshadowed by Ranka, Sheryl and Mina popularity and achivement due to they saving the galaxy by their song from past incident like Galaxy conspiracy and Havamal conspiracy

I'm pretty sure the others just haven't realized it's more than a random pendant yet. They will find out soon enough. The little trinket alone is probably useless. It becomes useful when connected to Freyja's song. In fact, I don't think it has been shown active without Freyja's song even once.

Heh... poor Chuck and Mirage; neither of them are aces and they don't even have dedicated muses to sing them into battle. Mikumo is Mikumo and Reina and Makina are clearly singing for each other. They may be right to be worried about the Var. |

"The song 'Axia' - it's your song, right?" "Oh, that... it's a song from when I was the 'ace', before Mikumo came. ... This song is the last one I sung as Walküre's ace." As for why you didn't hear others in it, even currently they have Mikumo or Freyja songs where they sing as lead singer and the others sing as a background choir. Quote:

Well just because character say something itself it doesn't mean he/she is right. And yes Minmey was completely random girl who couldn't even sing half as well (same goes for Ranja on that matter). Kaname has both charisma and talent. She is also very good leader. Her flaw is just lack of self-confidence.

So basically "I like her so she must be better than all those characters I don't like!" Well, feel free to ignore the show's characterization and believe in stuff you made up in your head...
(Also, really, Minmay? You'd better let Kawamori know that he's been wrong about his own show all this time... ) |
